I like to wear bold lip colors. I don’t do it often, but when I do, I love going out. I would wear deep burgundy for dinner, vibrant cherry red for the holiday party, and pastel pink for an evening out with friends. However, unfortunately, I know all too well, there can be an unforeseen side effect of wearing lipstick—that is, your teeth look a bit yellow.
Blame it on my incessant coffee drinking (I refuse to start my day without at least a cup), but every now and then, I’ll put on a bold lipstick just to wince at my reflection in the mirror. No one – including me – wants yellowed teeth. While on the right teeth whitening products can certainly help, so being able to choose the right lipstick color. Yes really. The color you choose can make your teeth look whiter or vice versa.
To avoid choosing a tone that would dull my smile again, I reached out to makeup artists. I want to know what specific shades of lipstick they claim will make teeth look whiter and brighter. And let me tell you right now, their recommendations did not disappoint.
